Sadachiyo

Lovely, gracious and friendly staff. Traditional Japanese ryokan run by people who are really committed to the tradition. Two beautiful onsen - one wooden one stone. The rooms were welcoming and warm - and the staff made up our beds daily, as I guess is part of the ryokan tradition.

This is not a reflection on the host or the facility at all but by the time we’d got to Tokyo my teenage daughters and I had been in Japan almost 2 weeks. We were tired. I think we might have been more physically comfortable in a western style hotel. Also I am not sure the location was the best for us. I underestimated how far train rides are we were a good 40 min train ride away from many of the spots we wanted to visit. Also it was on the pricey side - but I realize one is also paying for the service and the use of the onsen. Which were quite lovely.

Staff was incredibly friendly

There was a giant cockroach in the room

We had a really enjoyable stay at Sadachiyo. The staff were really friendly, helpful and spoke English. The breakfast was traditional Japanese and always excellent, with a wide variety of dishes presented each morning.

Nothing - our stay was Japanese hospitality at its finest.
